240 Roots of Hope: Business IT Brings Green Back to the Ravine

A Human Chain Against the Slope

Last Saturday, the San Antonio Ravine in Comité del Pueblo came back to life.

Where flames left scars a year ago, 70 volunteers now formed a human chain that defied the steep terrain.

Tools, plants, soil, and mulch passed from hand to hand, to the rhythm of background music that turned effort into celebration.

A few slips drew laughter, but nothing stopped the collective drive to return the hillside's green mantle.

240 Native Trees, 240 Promises for the Future

The ancestral guardians of the Andean ecosystem returned home: cholanes that will purify the air, alders that will embrace the water, capulíes that will feed the birds, cedars that will grow for decades.

Each native species arrived to weave again the web of life that fire tried to break.

Children worked alongside adults, getting their hands dirty and learning that caring for nature is also caring for ourselves.

By the end of the day, 240 native trees and shrubs were planted, ready to grow and heal the ravine.

A Well-Deserved Refreshment and a Renewed Commitment

When the last tree was in the ground, it was time for a well-deserved refreshment.

With tired smiles and dirt-covered hands, volunteers said goodbye with a promise to return and visit "their little tree" and accompany it in its growth.

That personal connection with each plant is the true engine of conservation.

We deeply thank every volunteer who gave up their Saturday, Business IT for their constant environmental commitment, and our team that made this day possible.

We invite you to join future planting events, because every tree planted is a step toward harmonious coexistence between humans and nature.
